Appl. No.:

12/913534

Inventors:

Charles Musgrove - Henderson NV, US
Brian Daly - Seattle WA, US
Dewayne Sennett - Redmond WA, US

Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04L 12/16
G05F 5/00

US Classification:

4554041, 370259, 323299

Abstract:

Emergency communication initiated from an internet protocol enabled device may be recognized and established. An address representative of a designated recipient with which communication is to be established may be provided to a first communication service operating on the internet protocol enabled device, such as a wireless mobile device. The communication may be a non-voice communication or a voice communication. The communication may be determined to be indicative of an emergency. The communication may be established with a recipient associated with the designated recipient address via a second communication service operating on the internet protocol enabled device and a predetermined network upon the communication being indicative of an emergency. The predetermined network may provide the communication between the internet protocol enabled device and the recipient securely.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/20

US Classification:

4554042, 4554041, 4555501, 379 45

Abstract:

Determining if non-voice emergency services (NOVES) are available is accomplished via an indicator provided via a control channel and/or via a query to a network entity. For example, a NOVES indicator can be provided, via a control channel message, to a communications device, indicating whether non-voice emergency services (NOVES) are available or not available. Additionally, capabilities of public safety answering points (PSAPs) providing NOVES can be included. For example, the indicator can include information as to whether an identified PSAP can receive a text based emergency message, an emergency message comprising a image, and emergency message comprising audio, and/or an emergency message comprising video. In another example configuration, a communications device can query a communications network to determine the availability of NOVES and PSAP capabilities. A response to the query can include an indication as to whether non-voice services are available, and, if appropriate, the types of NOVES services available.

Appl. No.:

12/564624

Inventors:

Brian K. Daly - Seattle WA, US
DeWayne A. Sennett - Redmond WA, US
Charles Musgrove - Henderson NV, US

Assignee:

AT&T MOBILITY II LLC - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04M 11/04
H04W 4/00

US Classification:

4554041, 4554221

Abstract:

An Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based protocol is utilized for communications between a Cellular Broadcast Entity (CBE) and a Cellular Broadcast Center (CBC) in a Commercial Mobile Alert System (CMAS) architecture. The CMAS architecture supports commercial mobile alerts, and the protocol provides a mechanism for Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages and related information to be communicated between the CBE and the CBC. In an example configuration, the protocol accommodates request messages from the CBE to the CBC and response messages from the CBC to the CBE. The request messages can provide an indication to initiate a message broadcast, update a previous message broadcast, or cancel a previous message broadcast. The response messages can provide an indication that the request message is valid, or an error message indicating that the request message is invalid.

Charles Musgrove - Henderson NV, US

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, LP - Reno NV

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554041

Abstract:

Emergency text messaging provides the ability to send and receive partial text-based messages and text messages that were prematurely ended. When a sender of a text message is not able to complete the message, the recipient of the partial/prematurely concluded message is provided information such that the recipient can ascertain that an exceptional condition exists. A text message can be sent on a character-by-character basis, a text message can be sent when a lack of activity is detected for a predetermined amount of time, when a character entry is consecutively repeated a predetermined amount of times or for a predetermined amount of time, or any appropriate combination thereof. The recipient of the text message has the ability to adjust parameters on the device, activate sensors on the device, and/or trigger the transmission of information from the device.

Appl. No.:

16/848802

Inventors:

- Atlanta GA, US
Joseph Marx - Alexandria VA, US
Charles Musgrove - Henderson NV, US

International Classification:

H04W 4/90
H04M 1/725
H04M 15/00

Abstract:

Example embodiments relate to a user equipment that can receive a cellular broadcast message comprising a data element identifying the cellular broadcast message as a wireless emergency alert. The network address information (e.g., URL) can identify a network location associated with multimedia content to be transmitted to the user equipment, the multimedia content stored at a repository associated with a server device. The user equipment can, in response to detecting that the cellular broadcast message comprises the data element, send a content request to the server device associated with the network location identified by the network address information, and subsequently it can receive the multimedia content from the server device and provide the multimedia content via a graphical user interface displayed on a screen of the user equipment.

Brian Kevin Daly - Peachtree Corners GA, US

International Classification:

H04H 20/59
H04B 7/185

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and apparatuses may use an unmanned vehicle to communicate an alert, such as an emergency alert, to a region, such as one affected by a natural disaster. A method may include receiving a message, which may comprise an alert and information associated with a region, from an alert originator. The message may then be transmitted, via a communication access device, to an unmanned vehicle. After receiving the message, the unmanned vehicle may travel to the region. Upon reaching the region, the unmanned vehicle may communicate the alert, whereby individuals' reception devices within the region may receive the alert.
